Tostados or Calados Bogotanos are toasted bread used to thicken broths or stews. They are an essential ingredient for dishes such as changua from the Cundiboyacense highlands, colored broth from Santander, and pizca from Norte de Santander, which are different names for the same preparation. In addition to the colored broth, tostados are used in stews after being grated, and some people from Norte de Santander add them to turmada.
